[TowerTalk] RE: CadWeld OneShots

[N2TK]

I got tired of trying to use the spark igniter. With some Cadwelds it just
didn't get the starter material going. Tried a torch, but unhandy and you
have to keep the flame low so you don't blow out the starter material. I
have been using a Bic SureStart. It is a butane powered lighter for candles.
The tip extends 6" beyond the finger guard/starter. It is handy and produces
a small flame for the starter material in the Cadweld. I also wear a
welder's leather glove and safety glasses, just to feel safer.
N2TK, Tony

Thanks vy much to everyone who responded with information, especially
PHIL
who wrote up everything blow by blow with way more detail than I
expected!
Big THANKS Phil--this is enough to really get me going, plus Steiner has
a
shop in my town.  I should be able to know what to ask for now.  What a
great resource TT is and fortunately the straight dope is in the archive
now
for posterity.
